Auana ticket prices in 2026
Auana uses dynamic pricing: the same seat costs more on a Saturday than on a Wednesday, and more in holiday weeks. Here is what each tier costs, where to buy, and the honest ways to pay less.
Prices by seat tier
| Seat tier | Box office, all-in | Where you sit |
|---|---|---|
| Category 3 & 4 | from about $85 | Outer and top rows |
| Category 1 & 2 | about $120 | Side and upper sections |
| Golden Circle | about $150 | Center section |
| Preferred & Premier | about $170 | Rows B and C, lower sections |
| Front Row | about $255 | Row A around the stage |
The headline price at the box office is $69 plus about $16 in taxes and fees for the cheapest seats on the cheapest nights. The Viator listing starts at $102 per person with every tax and fee included and sells the tiers from Category 3 up to Front Row. Children 3 to 11 pay a child price, and children 2 and under are free on a lap.

How to pay less
Choose the night. Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays are usually the cheapest for every tier, and the official site sometimes runs Friday offers. Hawaii residents get 30 percent off at the box office with a valid ID, which brings entry seats to about $48 plus fees. Groups of 10 or more get group rates through Cirque du Soleil's Hawaii sales team. Skip the extras: reviewers found the VIP pre-show package with snacks and drinks was not worth its price. There is no reliable secret discount beyond these; third-party "deals" often turn out to be the same ticket with fees added at the end.
Box office or Viator?
The ticket is identical and, wherever you buy it, non-refundable and cannot be moved to another date. The box office wins for residents, groups and the cheapest Category 4 seats. Viator wins on simplicity: one USD price with nothing added at checkout, the same mobile ticket, and your show sitting next to the rest of your Oahu bookings. Why is Cirque du Soleil so expensive in the first place? A large international cast, live musicians and custom rigging, spread over only 784 seats a night. The upside is that even the cheapest seat is close to the stage; see where to sit.
